...unimportant because they had no arms, that the amount of war material found was insignificant compared to the amount destroyed ; moreover there were no munitions factories, no modern fortresses, hardly any artillery. "Does M. Herriot really believe the details repeated by him can be looked upon, even remotely, as proof of a threat against France's security...
...question of medicine and the press was discussed by Dr. Morris Fishbein, erudite editor of the American Medical Association Journal. He declared that in the past year the press reported five tuberculosis cures and five cancer cures none of which was backed by scientific proof of any merit.

On all sides Doctor Butler's pet theories are bombarded with havoc. But evidently he has found a bomb-proof shelter, from which he mocks his adversaries. From the solid materials of scholarship and reflection, he has built an edifice of authority within which he sits untroubled by the blood-cravings of the hostile mob without...
